<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Investment Objective.</b> The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Fees and Expenses of the Fund.</b> This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you (or you and your spouse) invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $25,000 in certain funds in the Oppenheimer family of funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the section "About Your Account" beginning on page 12 of the prospectus and in the sections "How to Buy Shares" beginning on page 60 and "Appendix A" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) </b></p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)</b></p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b> Example.</b> The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows:
</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;"> <b>
If shares are redeemed </b></p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;"> <b>
If shares are not redeemed </b></p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>
Portfolio Turnover.</b>
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 155% of the average value of its portfolio.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>
Principal Investment Strategies.
</b>
The Fund invests mainly in common stock of companies that the portfolio manager believes are undervalued and that are either domiciled or have their primary operations outside the United States. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in common and preferred stocks of issuers in at least five different countries outside the United States and may invest 100% of its assets in foreign companies.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
The Fund can invest in any country, including countries with developed or emerging markets. From time to time, it may place greater emphasis on investing in one or more particular regions such as Asia, Europe or Latin America. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of U.S. issuers.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
The Fund does not limit its investments to issuers within a specific market capitalization range and at times may invest a substantial portion of its assets in one or more particular capitalization ranges. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in fixed-income or convertible securities.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
In selecting investments for the Fund's portfolio, the portfolio manager looks primarily for foreign companies believed to be undervalued by the market. A security may be undervalued because the market is not aware of the issuer's intrinsic value, does not yet recognize its future potential, or the issuer may be temporarily out of favor. The Fund seeks to realize gains in the prices of those securities if and when other investors recognize their real or prospective worth. The portfolio manager uses a "bottom up" approach to select securities one at a time while considering industry trends. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company's financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company's operations, business strategy, product development and industry position. The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security, but does not require such a decision. The portfolio manager may also consider selling a security if its share price is approaching its targeted price or if alternative investment ideas have been developed.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Principal Risks.</b> The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. <i>These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.</i>
</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Main Risks of Investing in Stock.</b> The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">The prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular industry or economic or market sector. To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of its investments may fluctuate more in response to events affecting that industry or sector, such as changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others.
</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Main Risks of Foreign Investing.</b> Foreign securities are subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in the settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>
<i>Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets.</i>
</b> The economies of developing or emerging market countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Main Risks of Value Investing.</b> Value investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that the Fund's securities are undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. A value approach could also result in fewer investments that increase rapidly during times of market gains and could cause the Fund to underperform funds that use a growth or non-value approach to investing. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and when value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of "value" companies may underperform the securities of "growth" companies.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>Main Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies.</b> The stock prices of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may not have established markets, may have fewer customers and product lines, may have unseasoned management or less management depth and may have more limited access to financial resources. Smaller companies may not pay dividends or provide capital gains for some time, if at all.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;"> </p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
<b>WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR?</b> The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking capital appreciation over the long term. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations and losses that are typical for a fund focusing on equity securities of issuers in foreign countries. Since the Fund's income level will fluctuate and will likely be small, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.</p>
<p style="font-size:12;padding-top:2;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;">
